Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.

Remove 3 pineapple slices from the can and reserve the juice and set aside. Chop remaining pineapple slices into small pieces and set aside.

In a large bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, and 1 can of pineapple juice. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Stir in the chopped pineapple and combine well. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick, inserted into the center of the cake, comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove and cool completely.

In a small pot over medium heat combine the reserved pineapple juice and 1/4 cup of water. Add the brown sugar and butter and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining 3 pineapple rings and saute for 4 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat. Reserve.

To serve, remove the pound cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Arrange pineapple rings on top and secure with toothpicks, if necessary. Pour the sauce over the cake and serve.

Pound cake is a lil heavy and the sauce does not come out as thick/syrup-y as I would have liked but the flavor is AMAZING!!! Made it for my boyfriend who loved it (he's a huge pineapple person and I loved it too (I hate pineapples! haha. Try it :

This is an awesome dessert. I have made it multiple times and it is best right out of the oven served warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Every time I make it it doesn't las longt. It is very sweet.

I will definitely be making this again. My family devoured it. Next time I might try crushed pineapple squeezed between two pieces of paper towel instead of cutting up pineapple slices for more of an "all over" pineapple taste.

This pound cake is one I will definitely be making again. It turned out great, didn't crumble, and was very moist. I had to cook it a little longer than the recipe called for, but I know that is just the difference in oven temps and will adjust accordingly next time I bake it.

I used a Sara Lee Frozen pound cake because that was all that I had. I also got the water and brown sugar measurements mixed up, using more water than I was supposed to. Guess what? This recipe is so forgiving. I used more brown sugar and the recipe turned out great! Very easy to make, but would be better to make your own pound cake, instead of frozen. Good luck.

I made this for my family the other night. It smelled fantastic, but when I tried to cut the cake, after it cooled off completely, it pretty much just crumbled all over the place..The flavor was delicious, though! It was a little easier to cut the next day, but not much.

My family and friends really enjoy this cake.
I forgot the can of pineapple juice so I added pineapple extract to the cake mix. Other wise I followed the recipe.
Once I got a last minute call from church because they needed a dessert. I went to the market and bought a pre-made pound cake, then made the sauce as directed and decorated it.Great for spur of the moment.
Thank you for your great food.

First, recipe missing under 7/19/09 "View Recipes," but can be acessed under "Other Recipes from This Episode." Second, I thought I saw Sandra have 2 6-oz. cans of pineapple juice in her hands when she was at the sink, instead of 1 as called for in recipe. Hence, I'm reluctant to try this delicious sounding recipe until I have clarification.
